Washington State makes internet gambling a felony

In fact, depending on how you read the bill, visiting this website is also a Class C Felony. If you're in Washington State, go turn yourself in now.

But you can always play the lotto, right?

I can believe what is happening..

And everyone arm crossed allowing this...

Soon, they will come in to your house and tell you: HELLO, WE ARE FROM THE US GOVERMENT, WE ARE INSTALLING RECORDING DEVICES ALL AROUND YOUR HOUSE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE TALKING WHAT IS ALLOWED..

People say that in Cuba you don�t have the right for religion, opinion and other stuff...

At least they are aware of it.. The US does the same, but with a beatiful picture been sold to you... Freedom my "�%"�%&�$"..

Well, what do you suggest we do? Call up the gov't and tell them we are breaking the law?

I can�t do much. I am just a third world country citizen who lives by what ever is decided up there.

If Antigua is making such a big complain, and not even them are making things change? What could I do...?

However some citizens in the states might have noticed that every day their rights are in risk of bieng violated more as time passes

I have family in Everett, Washington, and they say that you can't go a mile in any direction from where they are without running into an Indian casino. The state has tons of these Indian casinos and relies heavily on the revenue generated by these Indian scum. Not a morality issue at all why they have banned internet gambling.... just the Almighty buck. How ironic also is the fact that Nevada is one of the few states that has made internet gambling illegal.

Indian Scum??? You have problem with indian people?

Probably you are another white proud person who believes is your God's given gift to rule over everyone... any ways, I really don't care abut your opinion on other races.

The point is, why would the goverment ban sites? DO YOU KNOW WHAT BAN MEANS? It means you won't have access because they believe you shouldn't see it. Not even asking you what your position is.

I am happy that indian reservations make money out of the US people adicted to gambling. Las Vegas I've heard is an awesome place to be... Never the less.. if someone enjoys just making a cup of coffee at 1 am, not getting all dressed up and use the money they have worked for and spend it in something they want, who the @%@ these guys from the goverment think they are on telling you what to do with your time, money and what to see on the web??????

I don't have anything against the US.. but apparently you seem to be some one who, like sheep, agrees on everything "the shepard" says or commands.

This is more than if gambling online is good or bad. Today is gambling, probably tomorrow will be which stores you can buy from, which religous sites you can visit, and what are you allowed to read and what not.

Is it not considered racist/offensive to refer to them as Indian scum?

Totally agree with you on the comment by the fellow partner here...

**soflat** · 6th May 2006, 10:58 PM

Don't most governments control citizens' access to gambling?

If you are so worried about people's freedoms, then maybe you should focus on other, more-restrictive countries; because our freedom to gamble has actually expanded over the past couple of decades as casinos and lotteries have proliferated across America, even deep into the Bible belt.

Are you happy if internet casinos do the same? It doesn't reflect well on your industry when you celebrate preying on addicted gamblers.

Lay off you big babies! Anybody who doesn't earn their living is pure scum in my book, and the casino Indians top the list for me. I live down the road from an Indian casino and reservation, and believe me they've done nothing but hurt the area by buying up all the land around here from their casino revenues and increasing the tax burden on the rest of us. Even though the Supreme court has ordered them to pay taxes on the land purchased outside of their tiny reservation, they still haven't coughed up a dime, and refuse to acknowledge the U.S Supreme court's decision. The self-proclaimed tribal leader is the brains behind their many enterprises and is a graduate of Harvard. Without him they'd just be a bunch of lazy drunks like they have been for decades. Don't make a stand against me unless you're living it first hand like I am. Most of them are lazy SCUM in my area.
